Always a joy to read those and the fact that the emulator keeps on improving. You can run it on SteamDeck nicely and play Gamecube games better than Switch 2. It's a shame nintendo has only released about 5 games thus far.. Great work Dolphin Devs! I still need to give RetroAchievements a try.

It runs on android phones! And on any snapdragon: very well (some are <200 second hand now). Steam decks are what now, 750 for the worst version?

Dolphin is one of my absolutely favorite software projects. The kind of polish they put into absolutely everything, including these announcements, is incredible. And as somebody who spent many a relaxing day playing Super Monkey Ball against my fellow comp sci students in the early 2000s, this holds a special place in my heart.

100%. They're easily the gold standard for emulation and open-source gaming...and possibly open-source projects in general.

The effort they put into the announcements is frankly amazing and shows what a labor of love this project is.

Hmm wasn't Dolphin taken down by Nintendo or something? I seem to remember being sad at the loss.

I think that was Citra emulator. Protect Dolphin at all costs!

Nintendo (among other creative corporations) do not seem to realise that invite to play creates an attachment to the product that is deeper than a license agreement, which is our shared cultural filament.

You're likely thinking of Yuzu which was a switch emulator. Nintendo probably targeted them because they were about to launch the switch 2 and wanted to send a message.

sedawkgrep•39m ago

The switch emulators Yuzu or Ryujinx perhaps?

Ahh yes, it might have been Yuzu, thanks!

They planned to release on steam but Nintendo prevented it. The project however still exist standalone.

It is a Good thing "He who shall not be named" doesn't care about Gamecube games as much as the Switch or Switch 2 games.
